My little Leisa deck. Originally based on LamiaLass's "Tickle Tyrant" this is my most played deck and has evolved a lot over time as I play more and learn more about the game. The gameplan is pretty simple, get Leisa out, drain people's life, use lifegain to survive her taxes, and create angel tokens.

I find that Leisa gets removed nearly constantly. She only lives long enough to successfully attack about half the times she's summoned. This means that you spend a lot of mana and life re-summoning her (Most games I cast her at least 4 times) and it's hard to really build a board state with creatures you cast. So instead I opt for lots of removal and board wipes to keep my opponents board states in check and try not to die. The token spawners also really help create more blockers and pressure for a low relative mana cost.

This deck seems to win about or just over 25% of the time in my usual pods, so I think it's power level is just right, but if anyone has suggestions to make the deck more thematic or fun I'm all ears.
